No genuinely "universal solvent" exists in the normal sense of a solvent as a liquid. In some sense, the plasma phase, even less ordered than the normal gas phase, which is formed when any material is heated to a sufficiently high temperature to decompose any material to atoms and ions could be called a universal solvent.
Water is often referred to as the universal solvent due to its ability to dissolve a wide variety of substances. A common real world example is how water dissolves salt to create saltwater.
